More on Rights

I do agree totally. The War on Drugs wastes billions of our dollars let alone all of the prison costs. I just hope that you all realize how quickly the walls of freedom are closing in on us! Weed was considered a "strong and powerful narcotic that can cause death in small doses" by the government right before it was criminalized...Someone tell me where these guys went to school?

Ok enough on that i also want to speak on rights in general.

If i have the freedom of speech to say i SMOKE POT!
then shouldnt i have the right to smoke it?
